Drift School Half Day Intermediate 101 - Sydney Dragway Eastern Creek

Really like to thank the drift school crew for an awsome time especially Ainsley for teaching me the drift techniques like the donuts and helping me out in the expression session trying to get my handbrake entry perfect in the s14 and also thanks to courtney for teaching me the first handbrake entry in the s15. Overall top experience and definatley gonna try the masterclasses ????????

The first three elements of the course were brilliant, I started with Courtney in the S13 Silvia and it was a great platform to start with both the donuts and handbrake turn transitions. Having the two stages flow back to back was great because I could get used to how the car behaved. The first two attempts was familiarising myself with the cars throttle and steering and the next two attempts was refining the technique. Courtney was a pleasure to learn from, she kept it fun and described the steps in an easy to understand manner. After the beginning session I asked Courtney if I was able to have the last element of training in the same car, Courtney advised it is good to mix up the experience with different cars. The drift battle experience was fantastic, (I think I had Jim in the S13 Silvia) he was relaxed and at no point did it feel unsafe. This was a definite highlight of the day. As a spectator this was also brilliant, the E46 BMW and the V8 S14 were sensory overload to my eyes and ears. My final training was in the R33 GTS. The handbrake, weight and steering were completely different (as to be expected) and the car stalled twice whilst at idle. The trainer was patient and described the technique well, however I found the first two attempts were just to adjust to how hard I need to apply the brake, then the next two were to feel the steering and throttle. Another two attempts would have solidified the experience for me, rather than my failed attempts whilst trying to get accustomed to the car. After such a strong start to the day it was disappointing to not successfully apply the training within the car I had the luxury of practicing the first two steps. knowing this I was relieved I had the S13 to start the day with. The atmosphere and how the staff engaged with the crew and trainees was terrific and helped make the day more enjoyable.

Needs to be a food and drink place there long hours without drink ok if you drink coffee.

Amazing experience i would only suggest that the course was wetter

Staff were fantastic, instructors were extremely helpful and the cars were beyond expectation. I will be back, garunteed.

Drift School 101 was an amazing half day. All of the staff were really friendly & encouraging of everyone no matter their skill set. It was a very hot day for our class, but they provided plenty of shelter for participants & spectators, as well as icy cold water. I would highly recommend this adventure for anyone with an interest in cars!

It was a great day made better by awesome staff. They made sure we had fun and were giving it a red hot go.

We all had a fantastic day...

Drift 101 was the absolute best day I have had in a very long time! I wish I was able to have a few more turns of each section as I felt it took a couple of goes to get into it... I will recommend this event to all my mates and I am positive you will see me again!
